    I'm beginning to believe that a transmission replacement is an imminent
    event. I was looking through the owners manual and noticed the the R/T-5
    has a different final drive ratio. Would this give me more power/torque,
    or is it optimized for a turbo and wouldn't do me any good?

    Does it even work electrically and physically? Are they built tougher to
    handle the extra stresses on the drivetrain from the higher output engine?
